Obviously potential spoilers here. Den of Geek supposedly has the inside scoop for the upcoming Marvel Studios film “Guardians of the Galaxy”. According to the site, Benicio Del Toro will be playing the Collector, Lee Pace will be playing Ronan the Accuser and Karen Gillian will be playing Nebula, the grand-daughter of Thanos in the comics.

Nothing has been officially confirmed at this point, but the film also stars Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, Michael Rooker, Ophelia Lovibond, Glenn Close and John C. Reilly.

Here’s another surprise. Benicio Del Toro reportedly is not playing Thanos in “Guardians of the Galaxy”. Instead the latest reports have him playing the Collector, an immortal who collects powerful objects and beings, including trying to “collect” the Avengers in the comics. Hm, he seems like a pretty…silly villain from the outside looking in. But whoever he is playing he’s joining the likes of Zoe Saldana, Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, John C. Reilly and more.

“Guardians of the Galaxy” is already one of the more intriguing films on the horizon. It stars Chris Pratt as Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax The Destroyer, Michael Rooker as Yondu, Lee Pace as an unspecified villain, Glenn Close and John C. Reilly. Now comes news that Benicio Del Toro is joining the cast in an unspecified lead role with options for future films in the Marvel cinematic universe. Who could he be playing? Rumors are circling that he could be Thanos. Or Dr. Strange. Who do you think he’s playing?

James Gunn’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” is shaping up to be the most unique Marvel Studios film yet, and not just because it’s set in space. Glenn Close is reportedly up for a major role as a NOVA commander. If she joins, she will star alongside John C. Reilly, Lee Pace as the villain, Chris Pratt as Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer and Michael Rooker as Yondu,

John C. Reilly has done some more serious roles like “Chicago”. But of course he’s most well known for roles in movies like “Step Brothers” and “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby”. Now reports are that Marvel is offering him a role in “Guardians of the Galaxy”. Reportedly he would play Rhomann Dey, a middle man between SHIELD and the team. If he joins, he will star along with Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista and Zoe Saldana.

Zach Sobiech is a 18-year-old who has just months to live after finding that osteosarcoma–a rare form of bone cancer that he has battled since he was 14, spread and doctors said there is nothing more they can do. He sang a song called “Clouds”, which if you haven’t heard it, stop everything and watch it. It’s incredibly touching and I doubt you’ll have dry eyes after finishing it. You can also download the song here with proceeds going to the Zach Sobiech Osteosarcoma Fund. You can also make a donation at that page.

Good news for “Black Panther” fans. Earlier this year Morris Chestnut hinted that he was in the running for “Black Panther”. Now a new name has emerged. Chadwick Boseman, star of “42”, the baseball film about Jackie Robinson, which is proving to be very successful at the box office, is reportedly on the short list land the role. It wouldn’t be as surprising as you think. Marvel took a gamble on Robert Downey Jr. for “Iron Man”, cast Chris Hemsworth as “Thor” when all he was known for was being Kirk’s dad on “Star Trek” and cast Chris Pratt from “Parks and Recreation” in “Guardians of the Galaxy”. The fact that they are considering actors is very good news for fans.

Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” is picking up the pace. James Gunn is directing. Chris Pratt (“Zero Dark Thirty”) is Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana (“Star Trek Into Darkness”) is playing Gamora and Dave Bautists is Drax the Destroyer. Now Lee Pace (“The Hobbit”) is playing an unknown villain in the film. Thanos is sure to be one of the villains, but if Pace is not Thanos, who could he be? FirstShowing.net has a theory that he’s playing a character known as The Collector.
